Bryant Johnson will start (1 Viewer)

News: The Sports Xchange notes, 49ers WR Bryant Johnson appears to be running at full speed after missing three weeks of training camp with a hamstring strain. Johnson is expected to start at split end.

How well will he do? This should be a shootout with Arizona. I'm not expecting a bunch, but he could be a decent fill in for guys with Marshall or S. Smith. I've seen a thread on Courtney Taylor, and am curious how well Bryant compares to Courtney this week.

I could guess 5 catches for 85 yds. 0 tds

Dude has not practice all preseason and now we're to believe he's going to start? BS

He played in the last preseason game didn't he?

Asked about the starter at split end, Nolan said that it could be either Bryant Johnson or Josh Morgan depending on the formation and the personnel group. In other words, both look to play a lot ...

Split end. Mike Nolan insists that it's still a dead heat between veteran Bryant Johnson and rookie Josh Morgan, who were arguably the team's most productive two receivers throughout the entire offseason. But pencil in Johnson to start Sunday against Arizona. Here's what Mike Martz had to say on the matter: It's hard with Josh because he's a rookie. The tempo of a regular season and preseason game is substantially different [especially] to play under that pressure all of a sudden if you're a rookie that's assured. The timing's not really like it was in the preseason because you're panicky. There's that growth process for those guys that you've kind of got to fight through. So to say that Josh is the guy that's going to start excelling at stuff, he's in it obviously but we're really kind of depending on [bryant Johnson] to step up now and be healthy and ready to go." Nolan also said that Morgan would be playing special teams in the regular season. Morgan's been practicing on several special-teams units but didn't play there in the preseason because he was a starter at receiver (In games 1-3). If he's playing specials teams on Sunday it only stands to reason that he won't be a starter at receiver.

Yes sir, just pointing out that nfl.com has him down for 0 receptions. So, exactly how many plays were he in for? My guess with only 0 recptions, not many.

Here you go Tex:(Rotoworld) Making his first preseason appearance Friday night, Bryant Johnson caught three passes for 41 yards.Analysis: He caught all three of his targets, including a gain of 23 against Antonio Cromartie on the 49ers' first offensive play. It's hard to say if this was enough to push Johnson by Josh Morgan in their battle to start at split end.

He had 3 catches for 41 yds. Is it possible you looked at Arizona's stat line?

I understand that, but Martz doesn't seem comfortable with Morgan.

Ok, thank you. I looked it up again and it's still showing 0 receptions.

I went to SF, I went under "Player by Team" but his numbers are showing for the regular season and not the "Pre"season. Thanks for the clarity.

Look here. 3 receptions for 41 yrds. Try looking a little deeper. NFL.com scoring has sucked the last 2 weeks.

Morgan was an injury fill in. When was he ever offered the starting job? The guy's a rookie.

I agree, but that rookie played his ### off and looked freaking good doing it.

Morgan has looked great, but I believe he had an Undisclosed illness and missed some practices or maybe even the last preseason game??
